Vascular Access And Sensor-Enabled Catheters FAQ
![GettyImages-916906550 catheter GettyImages-916906550 catheter](https://vertassets.blob.core.windows.net/image/2da494cd/2da494cd-964f-4075-b062-e8a33c4a54d2/375_250-gettyimages_916906550_catheter.jpg)
Assisted by pressure sensors, modern catheter design criteria focus on optimizing fluid flow and implementing specialized materials to enable ease of placement (i.e., for patient comfort) in both short- and long-term clinical applications (e.g., power injection or dialysis). Some new, sensor-enabled catheters also have design criteria focused on miniaturization, which optimizes sensor functionality within specific anatomy and physiology.
In this Q&A that followed a recent webinar on the topic, Flexan Plant Manager Aaron Olson and Western Region Business Development Manager Darren Wagner discuss expanding catheter use and capabilities — including the application of embedded sensors.
